RESULTS
Facilitators trained in different teaching approaches are not only improving literacy and numeracy, but also building a model that schools can replicate beyond the project’s lifespan.
Since 2024, World Vision has reached
children through community-based catch-up clubs, an adaptable approach designed during the Covid pandemic, which aims to help children return to education following a crisis.
of participants reached the two highest reading levels, able to read and interpret stories in their mother tongue, and 63% improved at least one learning level in mathematics.
LEARNINGS
This project has been designed and implemented with sustainability in mind.
Community‑based protection systems have been strengthened across all three sub‑divisions. Trained focal points and Social Affairs officers now manage referrals using standardised tools, ensuring continuity of child protection even amid operational disruptions.
Local government collaboration remains central. The Provincial Health Division, Ministry of Education and Ebola Response Coordination continue to play a key role in training teachers and leading public health communication. Established radio communication platforms also remain active and available for future emergencies or education campaigns.
Economic resilience mechanisms have transitioned to full local ownership. Savings groups continue to meet weekly under the leadership of trained village agents, enabling households to support their children’s education with their own collective savings.
Together, these community‑based learning approaches, governance structures, government partnerships and economic systems ensure that project gains will extend far beyond donor funding, creating a resilient, locally owned education system capable of withstanding future shocks.
WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK OUR DONOR,
the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office and our partners in this project.
